I tested the Microsoft article &quot;How to Fill a Table with Random Records from another table&quot;, see link below.&nbsp;&nbsp;It works great! However, I am trying to automate how to enter the number of records to fill in a table.&nbsp;&nbsp;The example has it all contained in the module.&nbsp;&nbsp;Where the first line is &quot;Sub BuildRandomTable(lngRequest As Long)&quot; and to run it you need to be in the debug window and type &quot;BuildRandomTable&quot; followed by the number of records you want. I would like to enter the number on a form and just click a button to run the module.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am having trouble with setting &quot;lngRequest&quot; to the unbound text box I set up to enter the number of records.<br><br>Any suggestions?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Here is the link:<br><A HREF=" TARGET="_new">
 
Try this code attached to MyButton on the form with NumberOfRecords as the name of the unbound textbox<br><br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>Sub MyButton_Click()<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Call BuildRandomTable(NumberOfRecords)<br><br>End Sub<br></font> <p>Jim Conrad<br><a href=mailto:JimConrad@Consultant.com>JimConrad@Consultant.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Thank you that is all I needed!
